ADVANCE PROGRAM
Attend Internal Medicine Meeting 2018
My Fellow Colleagues,
Gumbo is the official cuisine of the state of Louisiana, tracing its roots back to the
1800s when the culinary practices of the French, Spanish, native tribes, and African
slaves combined to form a hearty dish using all readily available ingredients.
Gumbo is thought to be based on cuisines found in West Africa or derived from the
French bouillabaisse. The name “gumbo” probably derives from the Bantu word for
okra, which is commonly used as a thickener in preparing the dish. Like a good pot
of gumbo, Internal Medicine Meeting 2018 in New Orleans will nourish the
intellectual spirit of all attendees.
The “pot” for this year’s gumbo is the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in downtown New Orleans,
a perfect setting providing adequate space on the majestic Mississippi River. The first essential step
in making a good gumbo is to create the perfect roux, a mixture of flour, butter, and water that forms
the backbone of the dish. The roux of the meeting are the diverse faculty who make up the meeting.
The next step in making gumbo is to create the holy trinity, a mixture of celery, bell peppers, and
onions. For Internal Medicine Meeting 2018, this represents Meet the Professor, Clinical Triad, and
Update sessions. Next, gumbo needs a thickener like sassafras filé or okra to hold the dish together.
For Internal Medicine Meeting 2018, this would be sessions on health care policy, health care
finance, and health care reform. In Louisiana, we use the term lagniappe to refer to something extra,
like adding Andouille sausage or shrimp to gumbo. For Internal Medicine Meeting 2018, this is the
clinical skills station available throughout the meeting. Finally, a good gumbo is allowed to simmer
all day. Like a good gumbo, attendees will enjoy the opportunity to meet, interact, and network
each day of the meeting.
I welcome you to New Orleans, a truly unique city of celebration and culture. As we say, “New
Orleans, je t’aime.”

Keynote Speaker
Karen DeSalvo, MD, MPH, MSc, FACP
Former Acting Assistant Secretary for Health & National Coordinator for Health IT at the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Dr. DeSalvo led core public health offices and oversaw development of health
policy recommendations, including Public Health 3.0, a defining of the future
of public health. Dr. DeSalvo also served as the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology concurrently for nearly 2 years from January 2014 to
August 2016. She focused national attention on moving beyond adoption
of electronic health records to focus on data liquidity and interoperability to
support innovation and consumer health goals. Under Dr. DeSalvo’s leadership
as Delivery System Reform strategy co-lead, HHS set and met historic goals in
payment reform and supported transformed models of care delivery.
Dr. DeSalvo was previously Health Commissioner for the City of New Orleans.
While there, she transformed the outmoded health department to one that
achieved national accreditation and recognition, restored health care to
devastated areas of the city, and led the establishment of a public hospital.
She was professor of medicine and vice dean for community affairs and
health policy at Tulane University School of Medicine. She earned her MD
and MPH from Tulane University and an MSc in clinical epidemiology from
the Harvard School of Public Health.
